What do I like the least: Elliot singing when he shouldn't or the gang defering to his milquetoast "truth is in the middle"-rear end lovely political statements? Impossible to say

I stopped listening to the show when one of them opened with Matt taking about how much he appreciated Louise Mensch. I'm taking it they are still using every episode to let you know that they are vocally unreformed liberals?

I could listen to all the Hamilton talk in the world if they promised to drop the climax themed gameshow brainstorming. Every time Matt starts to explain it to a new guest I just loving hate it so much.

I want to like it but my friends and I joked about exactly the same thing in high school. As a one off bit I'd have shrugged at it, but they've been iterating on it for four episodes now and it feels beneath them, comically.

I dunno, I think there's still some funny in the "Spank Bank" talk.

I do think "Sevens" needs to be retired, though, or at least go on a lengthy hiatus. I don't know what they're hoping to get out of that any more.

Anyone else notice Matt seems weirdly arrogant lately? I feel like it started with the whole Fences-spoiling thing.

I agree with all 3. Sevens I just skip now, it's just not fun to listen to anymore.

Matt has been super stubborn lately and weirdly annoying.

What are you guys thoughts on the live shows? I don't really like the forced vibe where they are going for the laugh every 5 seconds because it's never been that kind of show for me.

I do like that they have a recurring cast of fans who come every time they're in town. Jimmy and Matt seem to know some of them and are able to interact with them in funny/insulting ways.

I feel the same way and skip all the live show episodes. It feels very forced and is just uncomfortable to me.

They felt like they got worse when Pat Francis stopped showing up to all of them. He's the perfect idiot for the live environment.

Does anyone think a game show with Jimmy as host would actually be any good? Every time they mention a game show he seems to get all butturt that he isn't hosting one and that he'd be better than the hosts they have now.

Man, I've been a fan of NNF since early 2009, have subscribed to every primo season since then, listened to most episodes multiple times, and have been basically in the top 1% of "biggest fans" of the show since then, but the loving 2016 election broke Jimmy's brain and I can't listen to his faux Olbermannish blowhard neo-liberal poo poo every week. I stomached the nauseating Hamilton talk but this is too much. The show used to pride itself in being apolitical, mainly because they've always been self-admittedly clueless about politics. They're still just as clueless, but they stopped being aware of that.

I think Jimmy still acknowledges his shortcomings when it comes to the nuances and details of politics but when you have a president who's literally shitposting memes on Twitter you dont really have to have a degree in political science to comment on it. And I just don't see how not commenting on things is a reasonable expectation in this environment
